Arghh! Just dinged my brand new wheel

[croyde]

17in front black alloy on my Abarth. Didn't spot a bit of kerb jutting out even whilst I always park it carefully.

3 scrapes, one a gouge.

I like to use my cars, not have them as garage queens, but it does look ace after a wash.

Gentle rubbing down and black paint?

I don't want it costing me a fortune.

Black nail varnish?

[croyde]

There's an idea. Do they do Matt black nail varnish?



Wanna cry

Gloss Black from Amazon (more matte without lacquer) will sort you out

You guys are slacking!

Arrgghhhh!!! Easily done.

I did it on my new to me M3 years ago within about a week.... on newly re-machined and finished diamond cut wheels.... with no more life left in them for another cut

That’s easily sorted and you won’t do it again

I hate when that happens

If it helps... bought a brand new Fiesta ST-2 on 17th April... 20th April I bought a brand new replacement wheel...

I've used a Sharpie before.

I used a Sharpie on my Tesla wheels.

The way I see it, it was Karma's way of telling me that black wheels look pants. There are a few exceptions where black wheels are permitted....... but, on a Tesla they just looked st3.

This was 2017, it still haunts me - main reason being the garage damaged my replacement wheel (I did mention brand new didn't I?...) so made them swap it with one from a brand new stock vehicle whilst I hung over them like a vulture.
